It hasn't been such a big problem recently. The whole Hetalia and Homestuck shenanigans calmed down awhile back and the two fandoms seemingly began to calm down. Truly a hilarious thing that happened that year though. Especially the shit talk.

Wow! She loves The Beatles! What a divergent individual she is for liking this kind of music!
How redundant these types of posts and comics are made, to be honest. So what? It's just her music preferences that don't really matter.
The future is changing, and we all aren't going to be stuck listening to The Beatles and Pink Floyd all the time.
How does her taste of music affect how the "generation" is?

Oh, gosh! This is pretty rad then. I find it pretty neat you know Nyx. I made lots of friends at AX this year, and it was quite a blast! Perhaps we did meet? Cosplaying with Nyx was absolutely fun. She's such an awesome cosplayer. I envy how pretty she looks in it. Gosh, thanks a bunch!!

Tricksters started out as an Easter Egg in Homestuck.
The Easter Egg was programmed by Alexis 'Gankro' Beingessner.

After the appearance, fans began to draw their own versions of Tricksters. One familiar person would be JizzyBro on Tumblr. She made her own designs of the kids, and a few doodles and sketches of other concept art for trolls and God Tiers.

In other words, it could be like an AU, in a way? Like Emily Hu's 4 Chords series. Humanoid and adult versions of the characters made into a little comic series.

What makes them tricksters, I suppose would be the "foolish" designs and slightly altered personalities of the characters. Lots of people see tricksters as "killers," drawing them bloodied up and a maniacal grin. Somewhat nefarious? Or, portrayed with a lot chuckling and cute charm. At least, that's the best way I can possibly put tricksters in my own words.
